Hydroalcoholic hand sanitizing gels have can be formulated to provide pleasant sensory and good conditioning on the hands even while providing effective disinfecting performance.

NM-Carbomers as rheology modifiers are the preferred polymers to provide cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing ingredients to thicken and stabilize hydroalcoholic gels.

Although all NM-Carbomers can thicken hydroalcoholic systems, several grades offer advantages such as higher clarity, better efficiency, ease of handling and better overall aesthetics for hand sanitizing gels.  Especially, NM-Carbomer 20，carbomer 21, carbomer 1342 etc. are hydrophobically modified cross-linked acrylate copolymer. They have higher electrolyte tolerance and handle a higher level of surfactant actives, being ideally suited for use in formulations for Hydroalcoholic hand sanitizing gels.
